Just Sharing: I Visited Chuck Taze Russells Gravesite

by daringhart13 in

just nothing more than a 'share'..... i was in pittsburgh on business and took a day off and paid a visit to russells grave.. i haven't stopped laughing since.

i'm worried i'm going to break ribs.. had i seen this as a young kid/adult.....i surely would have thought "wtf???".

folks...if you ever needed confirmation this whole thing is a laughable cult......make your way to pittsburgh and see chuck's resting spot.......its worth it just get pictures with his pyramid.. lol.

All is not lost. People don't fit into neat packages. That's good and bad. You do have some room for error. Just try again. One approach does not work for all. You have to really think about their personality and how they react to fear, uncertainty, doubt etc. Then go from there.

I always stressed to my family that there should be unconditional love between us no matter our beliefs. So far I've been able to keep communication open with everyone.

I've been able to help some of my family by using some of Hassan's techniques. I talked to them about what life would be like had our family not been generations deep into the organization. I talked about fear and the hold it has on them. I asked how would it feel not to be afraid anymore.

I also never brought up doctrine. But if they did, I would gently ask questions and make them explain any teachings or changes to me.

It is so frustrating when what you want most of all is for your family to just get out of the cult. Just tweek your style up a bit and your wife may soon join you.

This year 3 family members voted for the first time in their life!
